Explanation:
How to Set Up Email Notification of SMF Transition Events
This procedure causes the system to generate an email notification each time one of the services or a selected
service has a change in state. You can choose to use either SMTP or SNMP. Normally, you would only select
SNMP if you already have SNMP configured for some other reason.
By default, SNMP traps are sent on maintenance transitions. If you use SNMP for monitoring, you can configure
additional traps for other state transitions.
1. Become an administrator or assume a role that includes the Service Management rights profile.’
2. Set notification parameters.
Example 1:
The following command creates a notification that sends email when transactions go into the maintenance
state.
# /usr/sbin/svccfg setnotify -g maintenance mailto:[email protected]
Example 2:
The following command creates a notification that sends email when the switch service goes into the online
state.
# /usr/sbin/svccfg -s svc:/system/name-service/switch:default setnotify to-online \\
mailto:[email protected]
Note: The svccfg command manipulates data in the service configuration repository. svccfg can be invoked
interactively, with an individual subcommand, or by specifying a command file that contains a series of
subcommands.
Changes made to an existing service in the repository typically do not take effect for that service until the next
time the service instance is refreshed.
